When words do not speak feelings that you want so much to share
When walls build deep inside you and they just keep growing there
When days are long and mind does need to cleans and vent the day
The pen can just begin to write and take the strain away

We delve within our inner selves and question what we feel
To then return to what is real and cards that life does deal
What brings one to a vision they can see and understand?
What makes one fly on joyous wings and know just where to land?

Life’s filled with all frustrations, and who does really know
Just where their fate might bring them, and just which way to go
Can we find the strength to be who really lies within?
Can the years of holding back reveal where to begin?

We’re pawns who play the game of life, with hope to be a King
We’re people searching for the move, but seeing not a thing
Dreamers with a vision but not the time to see
Prisoners of the day and night, just dreaming to be free

The pen again is speaking in the language of the heart
That once again has cleansed the soul and helped my day to start
The key has turned a little in the door that shows the way
Inside I’m slowly waking, though I'm opting still to stay

What have I been missing?  It sounds like you must have published before I came around.I really like your thinking and questioning,as well as the fine ability to smoothly send the message.

Hi Rick

Your words always speak to my heart and are always filled with so much truth and wisdom.  How well I could relate to these fine words, my friend.

the best in others
we somehow bring out
the best in ourselves"

Take care.........Sue
